Congratulations! I, too, reached my 100 pounds lost mark yesterday after being stuck at 98 for a LONG time. It's an amazing feeling, and it has definitely strengthened my resolve to keep up with my program. I'm just looking forward to getting on a scale, and not seeing the number 2 on it for the first time since high school... Best of luck for continued success. Enjoy those new clothes!

B: 4 egg bites (crustless quiche) L: yoplait yogurt, 1/4 cup bare naked protein peak granola, two slices of fat free turkey breast S: chocolate (TOM, had to be done)

I do an 8 ounce Protein shake; I need the fuel to make it through the workout.

Hi everyone: I'm 7 months post-op, and I'm down 95 pounds. I've started re-introducing some carbs into my diet; whole grains mostly, but the occassional Cheez-it or Goldfish cracker also makes it into the rotation. I'm tracking my food and exercise on Livestrong.com, and their nutritional profile suggests that I can have almost 300 grams of carbs a day and still lose a pound a week. I think that sounds crazy. What are your daily carb intake limits? I'm just trying to figure out a happy medium. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You can get a package of 16 at Sam's Club for about $5. And they freeze very well.

B: 1/2 sandwich thin, tbsp Peanut Butter, 1 morningstar sausage link L: 1/2 cup turkey chili, four tbsps of yogurt D: 2 chicken tenders, three slices sweet potato That's all I know for now...

Hi there: I kept a very detailed blog of the first couple of month pre and post op; lots of suggestions, taste tests, what worked, what did not. Hope it helps! http://bananapouch.blogspot.com/

B- Slice of Turkey Muscle Milk Light L- 1/2 cup turkey chili 1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese S- goldfish crackers D- sauteed shrimp red peppers glass of wine

Hi there! I am about 7 months post-op sleeve, and I just want you to know I felt the same way going the process. However, I think divine intervention came your way in the shape of going to the Kansas City Bariatric program. Dr. Stan Hoehn did my surgery, and he is the best of the best. THe program is fantastic, and they are professional and fantastic. If you have any questions about the process I went through, don't hesitate to ask. Keep your chin up!

I have several pairs of 22 and 24 pants/jeans that I was going to give to Goodwill. You're welcome to them.

Me too on the chicken broth!!! And I still get a whif of it now and then!!

I learned from another post-op patient that constant vomiting may be a sign of stricture. What's your doc say?

I had my first cocktail on Monday; a whiskey sour. Like you Tiff, I felt that flushed feeling almost immediately but then I was fine about 30 minutes later. I just had the one drink, and I nursed it and drank water along with it but for the most part it was pretty similiar to drinking pre-op

Hey All: Has anybody tried laser hair removal post-op? I've been dealing with some chin growth for years because of my wacky, weight induced hormone fluxuations and would love to get rid of it now that I'm finally on a plan that is going to keep the weight off. Just wondering if any of you who have reached goal have tried it and what the results have been? Thanks!

Same as chilo1; walking right away and then six weeks until anything more intensive. I'm already up to 2+ miles each day; today is my six week surgiversary so I'm going to start doing elliptical and some light weight training.
